The Met Office has warned that a dramatic weather shift is on the way with an icy blast set to sweep the country this week, with a bitter chill set to shatter the mild autumn weather we've been experiencing
The UK is bracing for a -5C temperature plunge as an icy chill is set to sweep across the nation, signalling the end of October and the start of November. The Met Office has cautioned that the current balmy conditions are not here to stay as we approach the festive season, with the last days of 18C weather being recorded after peaks in Yorkshire.
In its Tuesday forecast, the Met Office described: "A fairly cloudy day for many, though a better chance of a few bright spells developing in the northeast and south during the afternoon. The odd light shower, with more persistent rain in the far north. Staying mild."
